traction control is not going to save the axles from the shock of a launch either. you have to release the clutch before the tires can spin, if the axles break than traction control would have never had a chance to engage.

anyone with a powerful RWD car has to make changes to accomodate the power if they would like to use it all in the lower gears. the Z car is no exception. guys running around slammed with goofy alignment on stretched tires over 19-20" wheels are not going to be the guys getting down the track quickly. ironically, this is mostly the same drivers complaining about traction with their FI car or saying the power isnt useable in this car.
Well said.
